This information is not meant to constitute investment advice, a recommendation of any securities product or investment strategy (including account type), or an offer of any services or products for sale, nor is it intended to provide a sufficient basis on which to make an investment decision. Investors should consult with a financial professional regarding their individual circumstances before making investment decisions.
ETFs trade like stocks, fluctuate in market value, and may trade either at a premium or discount to their net asset value. ETF shares trade at market price and are not individually redeemable with the issuing fund, other than in large share amounts called creation units. ETFs are subject to risks similar to those of stocks, including those regarding short-selling and margin account maintenance. Ordinary broker commissions may apply. Risks include loss of principal and fluctuating value. International investing involves special risks such as currency fluctuation and political instability. Investing in emerging markets may accentuate these risks. These risks are described in the Principal Risks section of the prospectus. Diversification does not eliminate the risk of market loss.
The investment objective of each of the three newly listed ETFs is to achieve long-term capital appreciation.
1 Profitability is defined as a company’s operating income before depreciation and amortization minus interest expense scaled by book equity.
2 Dimensional has agreed to waive certain fees and, in certain instances, assume certain expenses of the ETFs. Please read the ETFs’ prospectus for details and more information
